practice, are illustrated the leading princi-
Piles of primary teaching. After the daily
exercise in this department, the subject I'M
der consideration is open to teachers for
criticism, dis ,ussion, propounding of ques

ground SO plainly and SO thoroughly that
no room is left for discussion and criticism

One artist said that the dealers did more
in foreign pictures in day in actual money
than the studios with their scores of artists
do in month There is no more conclusive
proof that support is lacking than is found in
the fact that young artists just now are COM
pelle1 to neglect their serious work and do
what they can of an ephemeral or business
like character in order to meet their actual
bread and butter bills. The rent has to be
paid even if customers do not come, dinner
has to be bought and tobacco must be had.
So if the great picture on the easel cannot be
sold for 81 900, why something must be
done which will sell Immediately for $40.
And so these young fellows get into all kinds
of pictorial work.
A sculptor in the city here, who has done
two or three notable pieces of work, sup
ported himself and his family during the
time he was laboring on what is now a
favorite work with the public by drawing
designs for theatrical posting bills. He made
no secret about it, and said simply that he
could make more money in shorter time
by this work than by any other. He had
done other theatrical work. He had gotten
up dainty drawings for souvenir books and
illustrations for special programmes, but
none of them was so profitable as taking a
piece of charcoal and with few sweeping
strokes picture forth the thrilling climax of
a melodramatic play, with the heroine in the
| arms of the hero and the villain properly
and artistically foiled. Book and magazine
| illustration is another way in which artists
who are skilful draughtsmen earn quick
money. Some of them have done so well at
it that they give now nearly all their time
to it and are employed and depended on for
| this work by the bigger publishers. New

The appraisers appointed by the county

their report to the court. The personal

the difference being in household furni-
ture This is all, of course, exclusive OF
the real estate. the value of which is moi

granted. The papers are being made
out this afternoon for the transfer of the

How Women Lose Their Height.


Women. especially those Of the upper

selves in condition by work, lose after middle

amount of their height, not by STOPPING, az
men do, but by actual collapse, sinking
down-mainly 70 be attributed to the perish

end

Hopkins university, as stated in some of the
newspapers. had an option on that stock
